Newspaper Receives Statewide Awards

VOLLEYBALL EVENT 'GIVES BACK' TO MOLOKAI

By Molokai Dispatch Staff

he Molokai Dispatch was honored with four Excellence in Journalism awards last weekend, at a dinner in Honolulu hosted by the Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ), Hawaii chapter. Awards were presented in newspaper, TV, radio and magazine categories, for news coverage during 2015. Molokai's own weekly paper received two first place and two finalists awards. Over the last three years, the Dispatch has now received 13 SPJ awards. Former Dispatch reporter Colleen Uechi, who now works at The Maui News, was awarded first place in the non-daily newspaper category for general news/enterprise reporting for her story, "Fuel for Thought: Molokai's Gas Prices," which printed last October. Judges called it a "well researched and reported look at gasoline prices." The story examined the factors that contribute to the island's high fuel costs and lack of statewide regulation in the industry. Uechi earned another first place in the non-daily newspaper community reporting category for her coverage of Kapuaiwa Coconut Grove, a series that printed last year and looked at community concerns regarding the health of the historic trees and government and environmental action that followed. Judges wrote in their comments, "A really terrific piece that led to major environmental changes. Good job!" The series concluded with a cleanup of the grove and a fence being installed to protect the delicate ecosystem and cultural sites. Catherine Cluett Pactol, editor of the Dispatch, was also awarded for 2015 coverage. She received a finalist award for "Secret Lives of Monk Seals" that printed last May, looking at a program that placed "critter cams" on Hawaiian monk seals to gain insight into their daily habits, with video footage analyzed by local students. Pactol also earned a finalist award for her story, "Molokai Drive Inn Closes," about the shutdown of a local dining icon last year. The Molokai Dispatch staff was honored to attend the SPJ awards dinner and represent the island and its local newspaper. We would like to thank Molokai residents, advertisers and subscribers for continuing to sup-

he "Give Back" Volleyball Clinic and exhibition game was held last week at the Molokai High School Barn. Molokai High School graduate and former head volleyball coach Matt Helm and his Whitman College girls volleyball team was here on the island for a week and conducted the clinic along with former professional volleyball players Logan Tom and Allen Allen and Farmer Alumni and former UH Wahine Middle Blocker Kalei Adolpho. Helm said he was very happy to give back to his home island. “Volleyball is big on Molokai and someone planted the seed for me and many have continued to water it and fer-

tilize it and let it grow and that's what we hope to do with this clinic an exhibition game," he said. "At the game we honored Cappie and Judy Caparida for all that they have done for the Molokai Volleyball community." Tom was an All-American at Stanford University and a four time Olympian. Allen was a three-time All-American at the University of Hawaii and was a professional volleyball player and a former Division I college coach that now has a business teaching volleyball all over the world. Allen said local athletes have what it takes to succeed. "These Molokai kids can do it,' he said. "They have the skill set and we just need to train them on what they have to do mentally when they come out to play."

Math Contest Adds Fun to the Equation

The exhibition game was played against the local Molokai volleyball club Kime Ka La and an enthusiastic crowd enjoyed some high-level volleyball, with Whitman College winning 3-1 in four sets (25-14, 2523, 23-25, 25-21). Many of Coach Helm's former players at Molokai High, who won the D II State Championship in 2010, played against his current Whitman team and assisted with the two-day clinic.

Fireworks Safety Ohana Eye Center News Release "One of the worst injuries I've ever seen was from an illegal aerial firework. It exploded in a man’s face causing horrible injuries. I was called by the ER to operate on his eye and despite 20 years of experience as an eye surgeon I could not save his eye,” recalled Dr. Douglas Chu. As an eye physician and surgeon Dr. Chu has spent many nights in emergency rooms and operating rooms taking care of these preventable injuries. Dr. Chu is the owner, eye physician and surgeon at Ohana Eye Center on Molokai. When a firework accident is severe the eye can be ruptured, leave chemical and thermal burns, corneal abrasions and retinal detachments. Any of these injuries can permanently cause eye damage and affect vision. You don't even need to be handling the fireworks to get hurt. Nearly half the people injured by fireworks are bystanders, according to an international study. Children are frequent victims: 35 percent who sustained a fireworks injury are age 15 and under, according to a commission's report. When attending commercial fireworks displays: · Don't cross safety barriers at fireworks shows and view fireworks from at least 500 feet away.

· Don't try to handle unexploded fireworks; instead, immediately contact local fire or police departments to help. If you have decided to purchase consumer fireworks it's recommended you follow these safety tips to prevent eye injuries: · Don't let young children play with fireworks of any type, even sparklers. · People who handle fireworks should always wear protective eyewear plus make sure that all bystanders are also wearing eye protection. · Leave the lighting of professional-grade fireworks to trained pyrotechnicians. If an eye injury from fireworks occurs, remember to seek medical attention immediately. Do not rub or rinse your eyes. Don't apply pressure or remove any objects that are stuck in the eye. Also do not apply ointments or take any blood-thinning pain medications such as aspirin or ibuprofen. Have a safe and fun Fourth of July! Doug Chu, M.D. is the owner, eye physician and surgeon at Ohana Eye Center. He is a specialist in laser cataract surgery, laser vision correction and corneal transplants. Ohana Eye Center's Molokai office is located at the Molokai Community Health Center, 30 Oki Place, Hale #5 Kaunakakai, HI 96748. To contact, call 5533227 or visit the website, ohanaeye.com.

Cop Corner With summer in full swing, we wanted to take this time to educate the parents and guardians on the Curfew Laws for Maui County, which apply to Molokai. It is unlawful for any minor to be present in public places, public streets and roads between the hours of 8 p.m. and 4 a.m if the minor is under the age of 13 years; between the hours of 10 p.m. and 4 a.m if the minor is 13 years to 15 years of age; and between the hours of 12 a.m to 4 a.m if the minor is 16 to 17 years of age. There are some exceptions to this ordinance. These include being accompanied by

their parent, guardian, or other adult authorized by such parent or guardian in writing, if the minor is on an errand at the direction of the parent or guardian, or if they are working or going to and from work. Other exceptions include if they are involved in an emergency, are within 50 feet of their residence, attending an official school, religious or other recreational activity supervised by adults or an organization that takes responsibility for the minor, or is exercising their rights protected by the first amendment such as freedom of speech, free exercise of religion, and the right of assembly. In closing, remember, “Life affords no greater responsibility, no greater privilege, than the raising of the next generation.” -C. Everett Koop

Concert Benefits Humane Society Mokulele Airlines News Release Mokulele Airlines and local musician Anuhea are partnering up to throw a concert at the Paddler’s Inn in Molokai on July 15 to benefit the Molokai Humane Society. The Molokai Humane Society is committed to building caring bonds between the people and animals of Molokai through education, advocacy, and veterinary care. Molokai has many animals in need such as a large stray and feral population as well as farm animals that need support. “The Molokai Humane Society works tirelessly to help the community in providing an essential service with little resources. When we learned of their situation, Mokulele Airlines was happy to stand behind them to create a fundraiser to help them reach their goals,” said Rob McKinney, President and COO of Mokulele Airlines. The Humane Society receives no funding from the Humane Society of the United States or other Hawaiian Humane Societies and relies on the kindness of the community to keep the lights on. The island of Molokai currently does not have a full-time vet so the Humane Society pays to fly one in as often as possible to provide life-saving services to the islands pets. The tax-deductible donations from the concert will be used to directly serve the animals on

Molokai and educate the community about the proper care and treatment of animals. “We’re so grateful for Anuhea, Mokulele Airlines, Hotel Molokai and Paddlers Inn for helping us put together this event. Every day, our amazing staff work miracles out of the converted shipping container that is home to our clinic,” said Molokai Humane Society executive director Hoala Davis. The Molokai Humane Society invites you to visit their new website molokaihumanesociety.org, courtesy of Wind on Water Communications. “We were so inspired by what Mokulele Airlines was doing to help that we wanted to create a new site that would help the Humane Society raise donations and increase community engagement,” said Anna Covert, Account Services Director. “Paddler’s Inn is the perfect venue for a laid-back concert,” said Anuhea, “and I want to personally invite everybody who can to relax and enjoy a really beautiful evening. It’ll be a great day and it’s for a really great cause.” The concert at Paddlers starts at 7 p.m. To purchase tickets to the event or to support the Molokai Humane Society with a donation, please visit molokaihumanesociety.org.

'Mathletes' Gain Confidence in Math Competition By Erik Svetin, Molokai High School Student and Mathlete Three years ago, I started a new annual math competition for Molokai elementary school students. I wanted to share my love and enthusiasm of mathematics with other younger students on island. My goal was to encourage other students to pursue an interest in math and to help them gain confidence with the skills needed to be successful mathematicians at Molokai High School and Molokai Middle School. I just completed organizing and proctoring the entire competition on May 19-20. More than 100 students in the fourth, fifth and sixth grades from Kaunakakai, Kilohana, Kualapu`u and Maunaloa School participated in Phase I of the competition. Phase II was a second exam which was administered to the top five “mathletes” at each elementary school. Congratulations to John Patrick Ventura from Kualapuu School for placing first overall on Molokai out of more than 100 students. His principal is Lydia Trinidad. John Patrick’s teacher is Diane Abraham. The math resource teacher is Sue Forbes-Kikukawa. Second place overall for Molokai went to Nathalie Hosten from Kualapu`u School. Her principal is Lydia Trinidad. Her teachers is Diane Abraham. The math resource teacher is Sue Forbes-Kikukawa. Third place overall for the island went to Owen Svetin from Kaunakakai Elementary School. His principal is Janice Espiritu. His teachers are Tracy Davis and Joyce Haase. I would like to thank Jonathan Smith, my AP calculus teacher, at Molo-

VOLLEYBALL Continued From pg. 1 giving back to the youth of Molokai. "It's good to come back home and teach the children of Molokai and let them know that they can do whatever they want," she said. "If they want a career in volleyball or basketball or whatever they want to do, hopefully it inspires them to try these things and believe that they can do whatever they want." The two-day instructional clinic was a huge success and was attended by over 150 local Molokai youth. Allen has traveled all over the world teaching volleyball and said he enjoys what he does. "I have been fortunate that I can make a living teaching volleyball and hopefully we can pass on some legacy to the youth and then we will have more Kalei Adolpho's and Matt Helm's and many more," he said. The Whitman girls and the off island instructors were able to enjoy Molokai's

kai High School for his guidance of this community competition for the past three years. Thank you to Kamoi Snackn-Go, Inc. for ice cream gift certificates for every participant. Finally, thank you to all of the principals, teachers, and families for supporting these “mathletes” and for encouraging the importance of everyday math. The following are the final results of the top three Molokai Math Competition “mathletes” per school: Kaunakakai Elementary: 1. Teruko Asano 2. Owen Svetin - 3rd Overall Island 3. Paige Fukuoka 4.

hospitality, which included an overnight trip to Kalaupapa. Helm said this trip was brought to fruition with the help of many. It was only natural to want to give back to Molokai, Helm said. “Growing up in a family that was very community oriented is something that is a part of us and so being able to give back makes everyone feel good," he explained. Many of the island's local businesses and community members contributed to the clinic and exhibition game and helped to make this all possible for the youth of Molokai, as well as Whitman College. "Whitman College is very supportive in creating great experiences for our athletes and I felt that this trip would be an excellent experience for our athletes and I would like to thank them and the 'W' club and the Williams Ohana and all the Whitman community for making it happen," said Helm. "One of my coaching philosophies is teaching life lessons through the sport and that's what the Molokai coaching community did for us and continues to do for all the youth growing up on Molokai."

Mango Season Not Pau Yet

Damien Tours Celebrates 50 Years

By Glenn I. Teves, UH CTAHR Molokai Extension Agent Overall, this has been a bumper season for mango, and you can tell when some of the more finicky varieties are doing well. A good mango season is influenced by a cold dry winter especially during flower set, a spring without an extended wet period, and low or less trade winds that can damage and destroy mango flowers up to summer. These conditions converged on Molokai as rainfall totals were way below normal due to 25 percent less trade wind days. Rainfall totals for the period October 2015 to April 2016 were 73 percent below normal for Kaunakakai and 64 percent below normal for Ho`olehua Airport. Without trade winds that normally blow 60 percent of the time, temperatures can hit the 90s, which is what happened last summer with one of the hottest summers on record. Early winter rains tapered off by midDecember allowing mango flowers to set well. Mango requires care to produce stellar fruits, including irrigation during extended dry periods, and pruning after fruiting season that improves fruit quality over quantity. Stressful conditions, especially a shortage of water, can weaken plants and subject them to jelly seed, a physiological problem caused by environmental stress when flesh around the seed becomes translucent and has a fermented off taste. Some varieties are also more susceptible to this condition, and newer varieties have been selected for resistance to jelly seed. A major mango pest is the mango weevil which usually bores into the seed entering from the stem and will damage and rot the fruit. This is a major pest problem due to Molokai’s unusually long fruiting season,

with Common mango, also known as Number 9, extending the season outside of the main season of May to August allowing the weevil to reach high populations. Stressful growing conditions can also aggravate this problem. Oriental fruit flies are an ongoing pest problem, and this one-two punch can be disastrous on mango. Molokai is blessed with a diversity of mango varieties and some of the best weather for the growing of mango especially in the mango belt from Kalamaula to Kawela. Many unique seedlings have been planted by families, some of which originated from the 40-acre Mapulehu mango orchard established by Hawaii Sugar Planters in 1940. While the orchard contains mostly Haden mangoes, including one called Maui Haden, it also contains some of the best Indian varieties, including Sandersha, Alphonso, Bombay, and also Mulgoba, one of the parents of the Haden mango. There are unlimited varieties grown in Hawaii for different uses, from pickled or mango seed, green or half-ripe, and full ripe types. For ripe types, newer mango varieties are much improved over the older varieties, are more regular bearers, have higher quality fruit, and suffer less internal problems than older varieties. Some older varieties also have high terpenoid content or a strong turpentine taste that can also cause an allergic reaction or mango rash in susceptible individuals especially when eaten immature. Some of the recommended varieties for Hawaii include Harders, Rapoza, Ah Ping, Pope, Gouveia, Momi K., Keitt, Fairchild, and Manzanillo. Enjoy many of the mango varieties Molokai has to offer before it’s just a memory.

By Father Pat Killilea, St. Francis Church, Kalaupapa There she sat in the ballroom, decked in leis, surrounded by her family, and looking like the biblical Queen of Sheba in all her splendor. Meanwhile camera bulbs flashed as though it was the Fourth of July fireworks or the celebration of King Kamehameha Day. Indeed Hawaii had celebrated the great Kamehameha that very day with a floral parade through the streets of Honolulu. So it was indeed appropriate that we gather in the Mauna Kea ballroom of the Hawaii Prince Hotel Waikiki to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the founding of Damien Tours and to honor Gloria Marks and her husband of fond memory, Richard Marks, the co-founders of Damien Tours. Now it has been said that "behind every good man there is a good woman... pushing." I will not dare to further elaborate on this saying but I do have confidence that Sheriff Richard Marks knew that Gloria had his back, to use a modern phrase, in all his endeavors. So 50 years ago Gloria and Richard started Damien Tours from humble beginnings. It was a struggle at first but this dynamic duo progressed from trucks to cars to vans to buses, bringing the story of Kalawao and Kalaupapa to the many pilgrims who came from all over the

world. In the process they told the world about the great and heroic men and women such as St. Damien and St. Marianne and others who gave their lives to caring for the victims of Hansen's Disease. We had partaken of a sumptuous meal capped off by cheese cake dessert and now it was time for the roasting and toasting of Gloria. We had some emotion filled words of praise from Pamela Young of KITV. Dr. Kalani Brady recalled how he had driven the bus one day for Gloria and in the middle of the tour she had told him, "Sing! Sing!" Now know that Dr. Kalani is the second coming of Mario Lanza. So he sang for her. Pat Boland, in his usual humorous tone, shared with us his long association with Damien Tours as a tour guide. Pat is tops at his trade. Then came the lady herself, Gloria Marks, co -founder of Damien Tours. Let me say that she did not disappoint us with her humor and wit. It was now the hour to close out this evening of celebration and so we gave thanks to God for 50 years of Damien Tours. We continue to give thanks to God for Gloria and for her untiring efforts to share with the world at large the story of Kalawao and Kalaupapa. Gloria in excelsis. Aloha.

able, in good conscience, to ask you to tone yourself down. In fact, I hereby grant you a license to expand your self-love to unprecedented proportions. You may also feel free to unleash a series of lovely brags. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The next 28 days will not be a favorable period to sit around passively wishing to be noticed. Nor will it be a good time to wait to be rescued or to trust in others to instigate desirable actions. On the other hand, it will be an excellent phase to be an initiator: to decide what needs to be done, to state your intentions concisely, and to carry out your master plan with alacrity and efficiency. To help ensure your success during the next 28 days, make this declaration each morning before breakfast: "I don't want to OBSERVE the show. I want to BE the show."

ARIES (March 21-April 19): During winter, some bears spend months hibernating. Their body temperatures and heart rates drop. They breathe drowsily. Their movements are minimal. Many hummingbirds engage in a similar slow-down -- but they do it every single night. By day they are among the most manic creatures on earth, flapping their wings and gathering sustenance with heroic zeal. When the sun slips below the horizon, they rest with equal intensity. In my estimation, Aries, you don't need a full-on immersion in idleness like the bears. But you'd benefit from a shorter stint, akin to the hummingbird's period SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): "In life, as in bicycling, pedal when you have to, coast when you can."

Veterans Corner The birth of America By Jesse Church Aloha all my fellow veterans and residents of Molokai, old Jesse here with all the veterans news and upcoming events. With Fourth of July approaching, I will take a look at the beginnings of our county and the Declaration of Independence. The Continental Congress started dealing with the problems of starting a new country on June 7, 1776, when delegate Richard Henry Lee from Virginia wrote a resolution that the colonies “are and of a right ought to be, free and independent states." A week later, the representatives selected a committee of five to draft a formal declaration, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, Roger Sherman, Robert Livingston and Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson was elected to be the chief writer, their reasoning was “Jefferson was a Virginian, and could appear at the head of this business ,he was very popular among the colonists, and their third reason was he could write better than any of them,” so they said. To this Jefferson replied “If you are you are determined, I will do the best that I can.” Jefferson sat right down at his desk determined to get the job of writing a declaration completed as soon as possible. Well, in just two or three weeks, he had written the Declaration of Independence, which to me is a truly remarkable work showing wisdom, language skills, and the courage to put them in verse on paper, and it has been able to survive the test of time. Today, the Declaration of Independence is regarded as the most politically correct and best written document ever produced in human history. It set forth

all the reasons why America wanted to go its own way, and why all people who wanted should be able to. It is true that Jefferson fabricated some of the grievances the colonists had against King George, and it's true that he hypocritically declared, “All men are created equal," ignoring the fact that he and other Americans owned slaves, whom they certainly did not believe had been created equal. After a bit of tinkering by Franklin, the document was presented to Congress on June 28, 1776 and on July 2, Congress adopted the resolution submitted by Lee, and on July 4, 1776, the Declaration of Independence was formally adopted. It was signed immediately only by Congress’s president John Hancock, and its secretary Charles Thomas. Hancock signed it big and bold, saying sarcastically that "I guess King George will be able to read that." In the next five years, the remaining 54 members of Congress signed the Declaration of Independence. On September 17, 1787, after 17 weeks of secret meetings, members of Congress voted 39 to 3 with 13 absent to approve a new 10-page document that became the United States Constitution. The Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution are still working for us today, and remember the Declaration of Independence was formally adopted on July 4, 1776 that became Independence Day, the birth of the United States of America.

I am writing to let you know about an exciting educational opportunity at Molokai High School. The Molokai College Career Tour Club (MCCTC) is raising funds to travel to New York City, during October Break, 2016, to tour four colleges: Columbia University, Fordham University, New York University and Fashion Institute (FIT). For six days, we will live and travel NYC as potential college students, learning to ride the subways, transferring to buses, buying our own meals, and learning to shop economically. We are seeking these urban experiences, unknown in Hawaii, to consider possible college or careerlife in a metropolitan city. When we return to Molokai, we plan to share our experiences with our classmates and the Molokai community. As a club we are have fundraised extensively, including a gourmet dinner show, a movie night, and several car washes. Molokai presents a unique chal-

lenge when fundraising; we have limited economic sustainability. Even though we have had some success in fundraising, we are still short of our target goal, and have exhausted nearly all on-island resources. This puts us in a position where it is necessary to draw support from the surrounding community. I hope you will consider making a monetary gift to MCCTC for us to tour New York City colleges and businesses. All gifts made to MCCTC are tax-deductible under the Federal Tax Number, which would be issued in your name on a clubissued receipt. Thank you for considering our request. Sincerely, Jacob Norris President of Molokai College Career Tour Club Molokai High School, PO Box 158 Hoolehua, HI 96729

Ingrid M. Toth Our beloved Ingrid M. Toth, of Molokai, passed away in Honolulu on May 6, 2016 at age 77. She was born in Vienna, Austria, and was a long time resident of Molokai. She is survived by her husband John (Jack) Geng of Honolulu, her son Peter Toth of Molokai, her daughter Ingrid Toth of Honolulu, and her brothers Joseph and Heribert Rahdjian of Vienna, Austria. Her loving personality and warm smile will be sorely missed by all those who knew and loved her. Ingrid is interned at Punchbowl Cemetery of

Oahu. Ingrid was an avid and skilled writer who chronicled her dynamic and far ranging life. She was a much loved member of a local writing group called the Red Dirt Writers, who were often moved by her powerful use of words, her candor and her humility. Do not weep at my grave I am not there I ride the wind and walk among theclouds My pain is gone and replaced with wings I am with God and no greater joy is there Do not weep for what I was Rejoice at what I have become Mary Elizabeth Frye

In 1992, Aunty Peggy Keahi Leary started the Post-A-Nut campaign to prevent the closing of the Ho`olehua Post Office by United States Postal Service (USPS) management. The Post-A-Nut concept uses a real coconut that you can decorate and mail out to just about anywhere. I thought the Post-A-Nut drive is a movement I wanted to support using my entrepreneurial spirit by creating uniquely decorated coconuts that could keep a post office in operation and be beautiful way to share a little aloha from Molokai with family and friends both near and far. I can also personalize a coconut for and additional fee – you will find my contact information below. Postage will be an additional fee and is based on the weight of the coconut. Please continue to help support the Ho`olehua Post Office by mailing your decorated coconuts from the
